Wasn't that around the time foil stickers made a comeback? I did a LOT of sanding/coating/hair-dryering etc for that entire stretch just to make things transform correctly as tabs wouldn't fit or the like. And Trypticon made me learn all about plastic safe lubricants.

I am sorry I potentially brought up a subject I hadn't realized was that controversial. I was just thinking of what I paid for exclusive combiners before. But re: G1, believe it or not I've gotten my nephew a few of the Walmart reissues, because they are somewhat easier to transform than many...

I'm sorry, I wasn't looking at EITHER of the hate/defense options, I was just evaluating the cost for my own budgeting based on what I myself have done on other past exclusives, because of the discussion as to the package value. In my own case I saw it as a rare example of a Transformers...

*Checks list* *Nods sagely* Huh. Checks out...Ok, then! If anyone needs me I will be under my desk screaming.

I was thinking more of how the TFSS was mostly repaints and minor remolds, though we DID get the two Pretender Shells in 5 (to be fair, they were both repaints, but a repaint of a shell used for one Con exclusive and a shell from a Japanese exclusive Fortress Maximus recolor, so I gave them more...

Well, as I said before, TFSS 4.0 was $297, and it looks like 5.0 was $330. Assuming I have that right, Liokaiser now at seven new-mold (with some parts sharing) bots plus mini-partners is a better deal than either of them. And still nearly a month to get the last tiers in. It's STILL pricey, and...

"LASERBEAKER! EJECT!" "No...no, the incorporation of Cybetronian technology into Muppet Labs is definitely not giving the performance boost we had hoped for..."

I do wonder how many actual parts are in LioKaiser's set (not figure numbers, I mean literal parts, like plastic pieces, pins, screws, etc) compared to Unicron? It has to be way above DeathSaurus or Star Saber, very likely well above Omega Prime. Even with some obvious shared moldings between...

Well, people said that when the Razor Crest blew up (and I myself was devastated, despite not actually backing it, as the only working bathroom I knew of in the entire Star Wars Universe went with it), and this entire team died YEARS ago...

...apply directly to the forehead...

Bad news on my plan to get a Chuck toy, now with RECYCLED ART!

I have to admit, the new Rodimus looks to have some huge upgrades in posability compared to Coca Cola Zero Sugar, but they both seem like more of an artistic interpretation of their originals rather than an actual new product. If you gave them more significant repaints like what used to be...

I had Ultra Visser 3, honestly it wasn't that good. Nothing locked in place right, the middle claw was a totally wrong color, the torso was dinky, hands were just cast on the back of two triangles, etc. If you like the character, or want a HUGE Hork-Bajir, it's great. But for being an actual...

I liked to angle the back end of Visser-3 up to make shoulder cannons. Not remotely right, I know, I read all the novels. But I used the toy as a Transformer.

I had a similar issue with my Coronation Starscream's guns. A very light coating of acrylic nail polish solved that issue. It's important to let it fully dry FIRST, though. Thing with my nephew's Prime though was the opposite, his fist holes are SO tight it was problematic. I lightly sanded...

My nephew found that one, and it's now his favorite Prime. It connects with the trailer he already had (a 'dead' Optimus, he didn't seem to think the color was an issue) and the extra guns and axe were the perfect wrap-up. He now has an Optimus that he can actually transform easily that looks...

Then the announcement goes to a stop-motion, where Leozack steps up into a cliff with the various little robot animals at the base looking up, pulls off his own chestplate, transforms it into a lion, and holds it up for everyone to see...

And when the final tier funds, the Secret Tier will be revealed: A button on the base that when pressed, starts playing a familiar opening theme, and it's not Victory. Liokaiser is now Lion King, and also, Hasbro announces they are now owned by Disney and HasLab backers get to know first...

I had a similar issue, I had the original from the Hasbro Collector's site of the time (same as the Target one, I think, except different box). Sold it and many other beasts during the crisis issues popping up. The only Beast Wars stuff I have left is a few Cheetor's I painted myself and a...

It occurred to me today what the chest animals and matching helmets reminded me of: Visionaries. It makes me wonder if they'd take this approach with normal figures, a transforming chest plate instead of a hologram. If the team gets the staff things it'll be even more so. It also struck me how...
